Etymology

The word 'waggling' is derived from the verb 'wag,' which has its roots in Middle English 'waggen,' meaning to move or sway. The earliest recorded usage dates back to the 15th century, and it has evolved through various forms, relating to the motion of animals, particularly the action of a tail or similar appendage. The concept is often associated with the excitement or joy expressed by animals, leading to the figurative use in human contexts as well. Over time, 'waggling' became a descriptor for any movement that resembles the quick, side-to-side motion traditionally observed in animals.
